Research Abstract

This study was considered using of Lea GRATINGS Acuity Test for the educational visual acuity assessment of the children with profound and multiple disabilities. Specifically, performed examination for the presentation distance of the chart, the related examination with other tests and the practical evaluation. As a result, Lea GRATINGS had a high correlation with the Landolt’s rings from other tests, and could correspond flexibly to child's posture. Lea GRATINGS can be used for the educational visual acuity assessment.
